Bring two of everything.
Except the one you bring three of.

The Deerfield Beach permit checklist is a counting exercise. Two sets of plans. Two copies of the asbestos statement. Two of the structural calculations, two of every product approval. And then, for a house, three sets of energy forms — because one of them is not for the City at all. It goes to the State.

Tell us the address and the scope

Send us where it is and what you want changed. We will come back with which items on the City’s checklist your job actually triggers — because most of them do not apply to most remodels, and knowing which is the difference between one submission and three.

  • Florida-licensed general contractor, licence No. CBC1265280
  • The City’s checklist worked through item by item before we file
  • One point of contact from first call to closeout

The address, and whether you are east or west of the Intracoastal

Flood zone, exposure and which outside agencies get involved all change with it.

Whether anything is being demolished

The City takes an asbestos statement of responsibility for all demolition work, in twos, on residential jobs as well as commercial.

Whether you are in an association

A Deerfield Beach HOA affidavit is required on all residential permits, and inside an association a formal approval letter goes to Zoning as well.

Preferred contact method

We use your details only to respond to this enquiry. No lists, no resale.

Thanks — that came through.

The reality

A checklist is a schedule wearing different clothes.

Deerfield Beach publishes its permit application checklist as a list of things to initial or mark not applicable. Read it as a list and it is dull. Read it as a schedule and it tells you exactly where a job goes slow: every line that is not "N/A" is a document somebody has to produce, and several of them come from outside the City entirely — Broward County environmental review, surface water management, transportation concurrency, the Department of Health. Those are not things you queue for at City Hall. They are things you start early or wait for.

  • 01

    Most lines are not applicable, and that matters

    Knowing which ones your scope actually triggers is the difference between one submission and three.

  • 02

    Three sets of energy forms, not two

    Residential compliance takes two complete sets plus one copy of the front page, and that copy goes to the State quarterly.

  • 03

    Outside agencies start outside

    County environmental, surface water, concurrency and health approvals are obtained before the City can approve, not during.

  • 04

    The owner signs, not only the contractor

    All permit applications in Deerfield Beach require the owner’s signature.

  • 05

    The paper turns up at the inspection

    The City states original permit documents must be available at the time of inspections.

Detail

Strip out before you specify

What is behind the tub decides the drain position, and the drain position decides the layout.

Waterproofing is inspected

The membrane goes on, gets looked at, and only then does anything get stuck to it.

The fall is in the bedding

A level-looking floor that drains properly is built out of the screed, not out of the tile.

Glass last, and measured on site

An enclosure is cut to the room that exists, not the room on the drawing.

How it runs

Ten stages, and the four that start outside the City

How Elbaz Construction runs a remodel on a Deerfield Beach house, from the first read of the checklist to a closed-out permit.

Finished floor, shown as a moving sequence of project photographs

  1. Read the checklist against your scope

    Line by line, marking what applies and what does not. This is the cheapest hour of the whole job.

  2. Start the outside agencies first

    Broward County environmental review, surface water management, transportation concurrency, the Department of Health — where they apply, they begin before the City sees anything.

  3. Establish the total job value and the breakdown

    The City asks for a complete application reflecting total job value with a cost breakdown and square footage.

  4. Draw it, and get it signed and sealed

    Two complete sets of plans, signed and sealed by the designer as the code requires.

  5. Assemble the copies, in the right counts

    Two of the asbestos statement for demolition work, two of the structural calculations, two of every product approval stamped approved by the designer of record — and three sets of residential energy forms.

  6. Handle the association paperwork

    The Deerfield Beach HOA affidavit goes in on every residential permit, and inside an association a formal approval letter goes to Zoning.

  7. Get the owner’s signature

    All permit applications here require it, alongside the contractor’s.

  8. File it, online or over the counter

    New applications and plans are submitted online through the City’s portal, and the Building Division still accepts them in person at City Hall.

  9. Bring the originals to every inspection

    The City states original permit documents must be available at the time of inspections. A photograph on a phone is not what it asks for.

  10. Close the permit out

    Final inspections and closeout, with the documentation handed over.

Nothing above is a Deerfield Beach requirement unless it says the City requires it, and several items apply only where it applies to your particular scope. Association rules are your association’s, and we ask rather than assume.

Herringbone looks like a pattern decision. It is a flatness decision. Every angled joint magnifies a dip that a straight plank would hide, so the argument about a herringbone floor happens weeks earlier, over how level the slab is and how much screed it will take to fix. Get that wrong and the most expensive part of the job is the part underneath.

Project 02

Floors, and the levels underneath them

Completed by Elbaz Construction across South Florida

Photographed on several completed Elbaz Construction flooring projects. None of them is in Deerfield Beach. They are here because flooring is the scope where the substrate decides everything and nobody photographs the substrate.

Specification

What we specify in a coastal city, and why

Read each one three ways: what it is, why it suits a Deerfield Beach house, and what drives its cost. Nothing here is a City requirement unless the City says so.

Shower alcove waterproofed with a bonded orange membrane over the walls and floor, with the linear drain body set and the sloped bed formed

Bonded waterproofing systems

A continuous membrane bonded to the substrate across the whole wet area, taken up the walls and over the upstands.

Living with it

Salt travels inland further than you expect

Ironmongery and fixings anywhere near an opening earn their finish, even well back from the beach.

Silicone is a consumable

Wet-area joints are maintenance, not permanent. Plan to renew them.

Keep the closed-out permit

A closed permit and its documentation are what prove the work was done properly when the house is next sold.

Keep the energy paperwork too

One copy of the residential energy form goes to the State. Keeping your own is how you answer a question about it in five years.

Deerfield Beach

What the City publishes, in order

Every item below is on the City of Deerfield Beach’s own building permit application checklist or its Building Services page, read on 21 August 2026.

Walk-in shower finished in large-format marble-look porcelain, with a recessed niche, a linear drain at the back wall and a fixed glass panel

01

The application carries the numbers

The City asks for a complete permit application reflecting total job value with a cost breakdown and square footage, the scope of work including any change of use, sub-contractor applications, and verification that all contractor records are up to date.

Elbaz project photograph

02

Outside agencies approve before the City does

Approval by all required outside agencies is a checklist line in its own right, and the City names Broward County environmental review, surface water management, transportation concurrency, the water management district, hotels and restaurants, the Department of Health, Broward County Elevators and the state health-care agency.

03

Demolition brings an asbestos statement, in twos

Two copies of the Statement of Responsibility Regarding Asbestos are required for all demolition work.

Elbaz project photograph

04

Almost everything else is two

Two complete sets of plans signed and sealed by the designer; two copies of structural calculations; two sets of truss drawings stamped as accepted; two copies of the High Velocity Hurricane Zone Uniform Roofing Application; two copies of every product approval stamped "approved" by the designer of record.

Elbaz project photograph

05

Except the energy forms, which are three

Residential compliance takes three sets of Energy Calculation forms — two complete sets and one copy of the front page of the form, which the City states is to be sent to the State on a quarterly basis. Commercial compliance takes two.

Elbaz project photograph

06

The association affidavit is on every residential permit

Residential projects provide an Affidavit of Awareness of Homeowners’ Association Regulation, and where the property sits within an association a formal HOA letter approving the scope of work goes to Zoning.

Where the time actually goes

A schematic of a remodel on a Deerfield Beach house

How a Deerfield Beach permit package is assembled Five stacked bands. Scope and valuation feed the outside-agency approvals, which feed the drawing set, which feeds the copy counts and affidavits, which feed submission, inspection and closeout. The checklist runs alongside every band. SCOPE, VALUE AND BREAKDOWN Total job value, cost breakdown and square footage, before anything else OUTSIDE AGENCY APPROVALS County environmental, surface water, concurrency and health, where they apply THE DRAWING SET Two complete sets, signed and sealed by the designer as the code requires COPIES, AFFIDAVITS AND FORMS Twos throughout — and three sets of residential energy forms SUBMIT, INSPECT AND CLOSE OUT Originals available at every inspection; closeout documentation handed over THE CITY’S CHECKLIST Runs alongside every band. Each line is either initialled or marked not applicable — and knowing which is the job.

Illustrative only. Review durations are deliberately absent: the City publishes a checklist rather than a turnaround time, and we will not invent one.

Answers

Deerfield Beach questions

Because one of the three is not for the City. Deerfield Beach asks for two complete sets of residential Energy Calculation forms plus one copy of the front page, and states that copy is to be sent to the State on a quarterly basis.

Needed remodeling of my master bathroom in my house. After calling around and dealing with a bunch of unexperienced companies I found Elbaz construction and gave them a call. Just from the ease of communication and friendly talk I've had with the owner I knew this was going to be the company I was going to hire. They came 2 days later and started remodeling my bathroom and knocked it out in a timely manner. Great service, great communication, and amazing work. Will definelty refer and reuse this company for any future remodeling I might need.
